Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Scanner Bluetooth at none against Real Secure SMS's 1. Scanner Bluetooth also leads on ads (none vs shown). Real Secure SMS's advantage is update cadence (every 6 months vs every 84 months). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
